Spurs shut down Thunder in Game 4 to even series - ESPN

SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama had 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks, and the San Antonio Spurs held Oklahoma City to its second-lowest postseason total, beating the Thunder 103-82 in Game 4 on Sunday night to tie the Western Conference finals.

De'Aaron Fox had 12 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for San Antonio, which has not lost three consecutive games this season. Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell added 13 points each.

Game 5 is Tuesday in Oklahoma City, followed by Game 6 on Thursday in San Antonio.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 19 points on 6-for-15 shooting for the Thunder.

Wembanyama took Oklahoma City's 123-108 victory Friday in Game 3 personally. The 7-foot-4 star from France said he needed to be better to make his teammates better. He was much better Sunday night — and so was San Antonio.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has caused huge issues for the Thunder's offense, with OKC's efficiency taking a nose dive anytime Wembanyama is on the court.

«I don't know if I'm hard on myself,» Wembanyama said in response how he's handled adversity in these playoffs. «We all have high standards. And I know I have a lot of responsibilities, but I'm here for it. And yeah, it was better today. It wasn't perfect.

The Spurs limited the Thunder to 33% shooting from the field, including 6 for 33 on 3-pointers (18%).

After being outscored 76-23 in bench points in Game 3, San Antonio's reserves scored 30 points while limiting Oklahoma City to 34.

The Spurs had another hot start in Game 4 after opening the previous game on a 15-0 run. Unlike Friday's lopsided loss, the Spurs never
